The Federal Aviation Administration, or FAA stands to lose $600 million which will likely close some control towers. Fort Smith Regional Airport is among those towers that could shut down. Tulsa and Little Rock control towers will eliminate overnight controller shifts.

The Transportation Security Administration will also likely see furloughs for their employees to trim costs. Fewer employees could make lines at security checkpoints longer.

"With the lines at the checkpoint, we're in pretty good shape with the staffing level we have here right now," Northwest Arkansas Regional Airport Director Kelly Johnson said. "Where you're gonna run into problems are at those big facilities on your way back, where there are already lines where you wait 15, 25 minutes, they're saying those lines could be quite a bit longer."

According to White House reports, Arkansas will lose $5.9 million in primary and secondary education. Those reports estimate 80 teachers could lose their jobs. Job assistance programs and Department of Defense employees could see cutbacks as well.
